PAMPLONA, Spain — A packed running of the bulls at Spain’s San Fermin festival left five people with minor injuries Saturday, but there were no gorings the day after the first fatality for 14 years.
One man had a lucky escape when he confronted a lone bull that had broken away from the pack after a fall, but he was only rolled on the ground and not caught by its horns. He was taken to Navarra Hospital with a head injury and identified in a statement only as a 26-year-old Irishman, Alan C.H.
Four other people were hospitalized with head injuries Saturday but none was seriously hurt, said Dr. Fernando Boneta, a spokesman for both Navarra Hospital and Virgen del Camino Hospital. Among the injured was a 48-year-old American identified only by the initials C.R.D.
The bulls Saturday belonged to breeder Dolores Aguirre, famed for producing hefty, strong animals. The largest of the six animals weighed in at 1,378 pounds. The Associated Press
